Who Can Benefit from Using a Hand Dynamometer

• With a hand dynamometer, end-users are able to monitor the development of the isometric strength of the hand and forearm muscles, i.e. grip strength.
• As well as being a fairly reliable measure of general/overall strength, grip strength is a very important asset in a variety of sporting disciplines.
• Hand dynamometers can also be used to screen potential employees for occupations requiring high levels of grip strength, and by rehabilitation professionals for monitoring progress in recovery from hand trauma or disease.
   

Accurate and Adjustable

• For convenience and easy recording, the Lafayette Hand Dynamometer automatically retains the highest reading on a special peak-hold needle.
• This reading remains on the gauge until the examiner resets it.
• To accommodate various size hands, the Lafayette Hand Dynamometer handle adjusts to five grip positions: from 1 3/8" to 3 3/8" in 1/2" increments.
